Makenna and Natalie’s Princess Birthday Party

Makenna and her best friend Natalie had their birthday party on Saturday, March 19th.  Since Makenna turned 3 in March, and Natalie is turning 4 in April, and since both girls wanted a princess party, we decided it would be fun to do a combined party!  Both girls invited their own friends as well as shared friends (but girls only this time!).  We decided to hold it at my house, but both Jenn and I bought and made decorations and decorated!  On Saturday we went to dance class and then ran to my house to begin decorating.  We worked right up until time for the party to start, but we got it done!

The Decorations:

We thought it would be fun to have a candy buffet!

Lots of yummy candy!

In the front room, we had a table all set and ready for the little girls:

Jenn made these adorable banners for both of the birthday girls:

I made the balloon wreath and Jenn made the super fun poster for the front door:

The Activities:

Playing with princess dolls:

Coloring in the princess coloring books:

Next we played “Pin the Crown on the Princess”

Then we broke the girls into two teams for a Dress-Up Relay Race:

When it was her turn, each girl raced over and put on a “boa”, necklace, bracelets, ring, crown, fancy shoes, and a wig and then gave us a “princess pose” before taking it all back off and running back to her teammates.

Next the girls decorated crowns and made candy bracelets:

 

The Treats:

After activities, we sang to the birthday girls and had cake, ice cream, and candy:

The little girls got to eat treats at their own special table:

fter everyone was finished eating, Makenna and Natalie took turns opening their presents.  Thanks to everyone for Makenna’s gifts!  Everything was perfectly princess-y or girl-y.  That means she LOVES them!      

Thanks to everyone for coming to help Makenna and Natalie celebrate their birthdays!  Also thanks for the Larson’s for all the hard work they helped me with!  Also, thanks for taking these pictures because I didn’t get a single one! : D
